Flint pastor not talking after Donald Trump calls her 'nervous mess'

(I'll keep checking and post, should she change her mind. )

FLINT, MI -- The Flint pastor who hosted Donald Trump at her church Wednesday, Sept. 14, isn't responding to comments the Republican presidential candidate made after his appearance when he called her a "nervous mess."

The Rev. Faith Green Timmons of Bethel United Methodist Church came to the door of her home on Flint's south side Thursday, Sept. 15, allowing two men who said they were doing work there inside, but would not speak to a reporter from MLive-The Flint Journal.

Timmons made news Wednesday when she interrupted Trump and told him to steer clear of politics while speaking in her church during his campaign appearance.

In a statement distributed to reporters Wednesday, Timmons said Trump's visit did not constitute an endorsement by her or her church, but was an example of how the United Methodist church is an "open communion table."

She has not responded to Tump's comments Thursday.

During an interview with "Fox and Friends" Thursday, Trump said that he was treated well while in Flint, but that Timmons seemed nervous -- "like a nervous mess" -- when introducing him.

He later added that "everyone plays their games, it doesn't bother me."

[Thinkingabout]

1. Trump was taken aback by her approaching him to not make his speech political,

she got him, he had to back down. She did a good job to stop him. He looked weak.

2. Agree. He was even more of a hot mess, yesterday, than usual

He looked like a bully school boy who knew he was very close to getting his knuckles smacked with a ruler.

3. Who was the winner out of Trump and the minister, the minister by a mile, weak Trump.

4. There was nothing nervous about that pastor.

Trump continues his efforts to end up without a single minority vote. More power to him, in this regard.

5. So she is doing what he can tolerate least...

ignoring him.

6. Churches can lose tits federal tax exempt status

if they engage in political advocacy for a specific candidate..

7. Wow! There seems to be an exemption for EVERYTHING these days!

8. Churches can promote Republicans all they want

and they won't lose tax exempt status. It happens every election.

10. Let me know when Trump FINALLY tells a truth!!

12. Just watch for reports of flying pigs

He is way too narcissistic to ever develop a conscience.

13. Donald Rump is a bully and he HATES it when a women tells him what to do.

[Siwsan]

14. It is obvious to me that he doesn't give a damn about Flint. Nothing positive came of his visit

He didn't spend enough time, in total, to get even a tenuous grasp of what the water crisis has done to the city. He wasted a whole lot of people's precious time and energy.

It will be, for me, one of the biggest "WTF" events of this campaign season.
